more than i hoped but i did everything properly really, new rear wheel(was kerbed pretty bad) genuine parts all over, new clams instead of repairing the old ones, new vaux break pipe instead of making copper ones and joining etc!!!

basically all in all less then 13k!

just looking on auto trader and the VX220 turbos on 04 plate with less than 5k miles like mine are going for 19k+ so happy with that really, shame i didnt get the car finished last year when i got it!!!!!

have got cover note coming for insurance to start on saturday for it, betta get get it done!!!! hehe

they are not said if they will insure me yet tho on it properly cos of it being group 19insurance and need to be over 25 to insure it with that company!!!

c wot happens!!! cant wait for saturday........betta get out there and finish off the parts that are missing really!!! hehe

Iaz when you first got it and you wanted to do it silly colours and stuff i thought it would turn out awful.

I think you did change your mind a bit.

I have to say i fucking love it! Looks better than vaux make them. It really does.

Hope you enjoy driving it

little update, have got cover note for insurance to start on saturday.......for 30days not sure they are gonna keep insuring me but i dont mind leat i have 30days to c if i wanna keep car or sell it!!!

really done wanna sell the car cos wot wud i have instead, i really cant think of a car to compare or compete, its unusal to c one on the road, 4.5k miles so basicall new, and will be fun to drive and fast, reliable!!!

got last parts painted today like the mirror and air duck from drivers side, will get them fitted tomorrow and line the boot up and put catch on, gotta sort out a number plate for front also then sorted for saturday once i get tax, cant wait am so excited, not pushing it to start with cos i need to get tracking checked, also could do with have tow in/out camber and all that cheacked and set up!

got all inside back in and cleaned up and looks ace! really pleased with how its all gone together, and with the black wheels and black screen makes it look almost soft in the origional pics!!!

fingers crossed for nice weather saturday!! even tho i am working all weekend!

nice, the ONLY thing i would change is that v grill, as its coloured black it blends in too much with the mesh, i think it needs to either be removed or put back to chrome or something
